Amelia’s purchase of a house with two llamas in 2001 began her journey of fiber discovery: spinning, spindles, rare breeds, weaving, dyeing, nalbinding, circular sock machines, e-spinners, and revisiting her roots in knitting, crochet, and sewing. Amelia teaches over Zoom and at wool shows, shops, and guilds. She wrote Productive Spindling and Power Spinning, published two spindle videos with Spin-Off, and has written for Spin-Off, Ply, and Knitty as well as blogging. She now “fibers” across America as a full-time nomad.
